Here in Tallahassee, I got quoted 250 from one place, 300+somewhere else, 300-500 at another.

Think I'm gonna go with the 300+ place, they seemd to know what they were getting themselves into.

Buy 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, 22mm sockets, 13mm wrenches, a jack and jack stands and do it yourself. It may take a weekend if you dont really know what your doing but I'm sure I could give a monkey the tools and he would figure it out in a weekend.

You've got to do a write-up on "A Monkey's guide to Long Tube Header Installation"

LOL ok but there are plenty allready on this forum and on the internet. Check out http://www.fnsweet.com/garage/lt_install/index.shtmlIt took me6 hours the first time I did longtubes on my car. I have done 4 more longtube installs since then and got it down to 3 hours. All using basicly what it says in the fnsweet how-to.

It only takes you 3 hours? So I could drive from Knoxville to Clarksville and you could put them on in an afternoon for $100???? Sound like a deal to me!
